Thanks for posting updates Moose

No problem.  Gave me something to do this afternoon.

You on vacation, or work slow?

Only 3 assists for Branch today.   )

Doesn't matter if the whole team was assisting, which sounds like it might have been the case today. 

Wonder what jakarr's number were like. I didn't see much tweeting about him

Very happy we left with the win. Great news.

Slowwwww

Branch and Hooper sounded real good today. If Hooper plays that Novak type role the garden can be a lot of fun when he shoots

When he's in, along oth D'Lo etc, teams will have to spread out and check them.  Leaves more space for our forwards to work as well.  Spreads defenses out.  The kid seems to be a sniper.  Can only help us this season.

Next game is Evreaux I believe, who beat Temple by 31 points.  Should be a tough test against a solid pro team. 

“@SJUCoachLavin: Found a way to get the W tonight. Poise down stretch and 2-3 Zone”

“@jamal_branch: Great TEAM win tonight! Back at it tomorrow!”

Thank you for the updates! Go St. John's!!

All of this while under potential jet lag which is pretty nice. Good to see adversity early on and how they respond to it. Let's keep it up.

Heard Branch was phenominal

lavin said on red storm report in his career he never had a player improve as much between the spring and summer as did branch.

btw, thanks for the updates, moose.

i hope god's gift gets some burn.

You know with Harrison back and Jordan with a lot of hype this kid has gotten lost in the shuffle and he has some serious talent.  Keep in mind not only did he miss games sitting out but then he missed the Cincy game after getting poked in the eye and then got his ankle rolled in the Georgetown game forcing him to miss several games.  Kid can ball.

Man Harrison, Branch, Jordan, Greene, Hooper...look out.

It's great to hear some positives about Hooper, but wouldn't you expect him to fill well in the European game?  Anyway, sounds like things went very well today and glad to hear great reviews of Branch!

Thank you Moose for the play by play. It was exceptional and I appreciate it! Have a beautiful day tomorrow. Good night.

Thank you but I was just taking Fratto and his tweets.  Figured people would like to read the play by play back.

A kid that can shoot like Hooper with only a little space, and sink em can be a big weapon on a team as deep as we are.  The fact that his first game out he was nailing treys easily is great.  The more we can get from our guards and bigs this year, the more we can get looks for a guy like Hooper. 

Does anyone know if we play again tomorrow?

Also means some serious competition at practice which can only make them all better.
